FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHY I like to photograph raptors (or most any bird, really) in this kind of light when I think I can get away with it. When I first started photographing birds I always made an effort to get the light source directly behind me and now I shudder to think of the interesting light I sometimes missed, especially since what I ended up with was often something rather mundane. FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHY Mia and I have been visiting the Centennial Valley for about five years now (usually 3-4 times every summer) and at least once each trip, as we passed this lichen-covered rock next to the road, I would mention to her how much I would like to photograph a raptor on one ofthese red rocks.
FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHY Two days ago we woke up to a cloudy morning so we put our shooting plans on hold for the day but soon the clouds began to clear from the south so we decided at the last minute to head for Farmington Bay which is not only a shorter drive but it’s further south than Antelope Island, which gave us a better chance for some decent and relatively early light. FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHY This week I was finally able to get some decent images of Marsh Wrens. Canon 7D, 1/2000, f/8, ISO 400, 500 f/4, 1.4 tc In the past these birds have always been buried too deeply in vegetation for me to get shots I liked but a couple of days ago they finally cooperated withme.
FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHY This past June I spent lots of time with Western and Clark’s Grebes as they were raising their families. The two species are quite similar but the adult birds in this post can be recognized as Clark’s Grebes by their bright yellow-orange bills and the fact that their eyes are surrounded by white plumage, rather than black. FEATHEREDPHOTOGRAPHY.COM I’m just a guy who loves to observe and photograph birds. All of my life I have thoroughly enjoyed any activity that gives me some intimacy with the natural world. FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHYBLACKBIRDS, GRACKLES AND ORIOLESIT'S BEEN FAR, FAR TOO LONGNORTHERN GOSHAWKS Five days ago I spent about 40 minutes with a male Belted Kingfisher who even cooperated occasionally. These are some of the events I photographed that morning. FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHY Yesterday morning on my way to Bear River MBR I mused out loud about visiting another area in Utah where I’ve had interesting experiences with Sandhill Cranes, even though I thought it was likely too early to have a good chance of seeing them now. FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHY This was a perch I had a love-hate relationship with for almost four years. It was a small, very old and sun-bleached snag along the road down unit 1 at Farmington Bay Wildlife Management Area. FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHY I doubt this red-tail was emulating Teddy Roosevelt’s ‘big stick’ ideology but if he had been his rivals would have been dulyimpressed.

A FEW RECENT BIRDS AND A CRITTER A mixed bag. None of these photos is an award winner (well, maybe one comes fairly close – it’s been growing on me) but collectively they should give you a feeling for some of the species I see this time of year and some of the places I visit to photograph them. YOUNG BURROWING OWL COMING IN FOR A PRACTICE LANDING A five photo flight series. This is an older series taken on Antelope Island in July of 2012. Two of the five photos have been posted before (readers may remember one of them from the rotating banner I used to have at the top of my blog) but three of them are new to Feathered Photography and none of the five have ever been seen in a series. LAZULI BUNTINGS IN RED ROCK COUNTRY In this habitat finding oodles of Lazuli Buntings was a pleasant surprise. Now I know better. In early June of 2010 I spent several days camping in Utah’s San Rafael Swell, commonly referred to as simply “The Swell”.DRYING OFF BEHAVIOR

CAPITALIZATION OF BIRD COMMON NAMES… I was an English major, have my graduate degree in English, have taught many years of writing courses, and am a published poet.

FEATHERED PHOTOGRAPHY The Challenges Of Photographing Falcons On Antelope Island.

ANATOMY OF A MAGPIE NEST When a nest is reused it may not be by the original pair that built the nest. Older nests get a new interior mud cup and lining of grass, rootlets and animal hair. Thorny twigs (usually from greasewood or hawthorn) are used to build the dome when available. The advantage of this is obvious. Here’s another look at the nest from a differentangle.
